Does anyone recognise this bowl please? It's a small bowl (4Â½" across the top excluding the lugs) with lugs either side, on one of which it says MADE IN GERMANY with a pattern of fish and reeds etc... around it. Five little bumps on the base act like tiny feet. Colourless pressed glass.

Glen, finally I deciphered your smallest note: Walther seems to be possible at least - for ME it's a question of quality - in this case the quality and colour is inferior, which leads to VEB Sachsenglas perhaps 1960ies

I'd been wondering about the date: as it says Made in Germany I'd assumed that meant either pre-Berlin Wall going up, or post-Berlin Wall coming down (so before 1961 or after 1989). 1960's puts them bang in the period of the partition of Germany, doesn't it?

So would that mean Made in Germany means what was then West Germany? (as opposed to Made in DDR as on my green jug.) Ivo's little book says that VEB were in the GDR - but I cannot remember if GDR means the same as DDR, or if GDR means West Germany. Can someone please clarify for me? Many thanks.
